French army, who is now in ST Petersburg, has
written An interesting letter the Russians at

the Emperor of Russia has surrounded himself
in order to protect his life. They ara many, it

stupid police which takessfrom the bags of trav-

newspapers wrapped around their shoes. and
which does not permit letters addressed TO
strangers outside of Russia to pass over the
frontier before having been opened and read. is
continually discovering mythical plots for the
purpose of demonstrating their useful
ness to the Emperor. Bnt, in spite of this Wig
lance, it was not forewarned against the
only serious attempt directed against the
life of the Emperor since his accession
TO the throne. For, in spite of the

Remarkable Case of Surgery.

Philadelphia Record.
The most remarkable case on record, perhaps,
of foreign body being carried without serious
Inconvenience in vital organ is recorded in a
forthcoming book by one of the leading profess
sors in the Medco Chrurgical College, of this
city, an institution occupying the same relation
to medical colleges that Johns Hopkins Uni
versity does to other American schools. A
young Philadelphia of family was travelling,
some eighteen months ago, in Florida He was
shot while on his horse, and discovered his
assailant just in time to lean down behind the
neck of his frightened beast for shelter and re-
ceive a heavy rife ball in his left breast. For
three months he lay in Florida hotel expected
to die He was then brought home to Philadel-
phia and put under the care of the professor in
question, who found him drowning" from the
collection of pus in his wounded lung. The
professor tried probe, but found he couldn't
use it. A nne-inch rubber tube was then in
serted into the wounded lung aud the free end
OF the tube was fastened in the neck of bottle.
After few weeks the patient was able to man
age the tube himself, and he was allowed to go
home
Abont nine months afterward the surgeon was
called to him suddenly in the night and found
the young man again drowning" from pus in
his lung. He was asked what had become of the
tube, and said that he had got SO much better
that one morning when he woke up and found
the tube had disappeared be didn't even search
his bed for it but thought he was well enough to
do without it. The doctor reopened the wound
with probe and made amazing discoveries.
The nine-inch rubber tube was in his patients
lung, and he at once extracted it. He then had
made specially pair of forceps which opened
and closed with screw. He inserted them and
drew out the following foreign substances in
this order First, half bride buckle second, a
piece of coat; third. piece of flannel hunting
shirt and fourth, the ball. This case formed
the subject of lecture here, but it has never
been published. The young man is alive and
we'll now. The doctor calls attention to tho fact
that the ball, which drove the buckle and shirt
into the lung. worked round through the broken
down tissue. as the ball did in Mary Anderson's
brain, until it changed places with them.

rRADEs-UNIoNs IN ENGLAND,
Some Enormous, Wealthy. and Long -Estab-
Hshed Workmen's Organizations.


London Standard.
By order of the House of Commons Messrs
Hansard have just printed an appendix to the
returns or the chief register of friendly societies
for the year ending Dec. 81, 1885, giving list of
registered trades unions in the United Kingdom
with the dates of their establishment and in
some cases. particulars of their funds incomes
and membership.
From this it appears that the oldest of all
trade unions in the kingdom is the Steam En-
CINE Makers Society Manchester, which was
established on Nov. 2, 1924 and has now fl0.-
435 accumulated funds. and membership of
5,062 The union possessing the largest fund of
those which have sent in returns Though it
must be remem bered that several of the largest
societies. such. for example, as the Amalsamated
Society OF Engineers. have given no par
ticuars OF their finances, is the Amalgamated
Society of Carpenters and Joiners, with
headquarters at Manchester The funds of this
organization are stated at ESQ., 65l: annual in
come f63, l22, and membership, %, 781. It is,
however. closely pressed by the Amalgamated
Society of Railway Servants of England, Ireland,
Scotland and Wales, whose headquarters are in
City road London. The funds Of this society are
stated at ESQ. 7S9. with an annual income of fl4-
315. and 8, 054 members
The largest annual income-f70, 7O8-is
claimed by the United Society of Boiler-makers
and Iron Ship-buiders of Newcastle on Tyne,
with 81 95 members. and accumulated funds
amounting to 13S,3l7. The Durham Miners
Association appears to be. far as the returns
snow. numerically the strongest union IN the
kingdom, having 80, 600 members. with an in
come of 946. 153. and funds amounting to f35.-
993. Some Of the titles of these societies show
the extensive ramifcations of trades unionsm.
That there is Warehouseniens Philanthropic
Society in Bradford should occasion no
surprise, but the same town boasts
of a Stuff makers-up Provident Society, with
considerable funds. and an income Of more than

amalgamated chimney-sweeps, the amicable
woostaplers. and the rundlet coopers-all these
and many moro have separate trade organiza-
tons of their own for mutual protection.
Women, too, have learned the utility of COM

the Westminster and Pimlico Branch of the
London Taioresses' Trade-union, and the
Rochdale Male and Female Card and Blowing
